The Sacramento Kings made a shrewd move in adding Carl Landry on a four-year, $26 million deal this offseason.

They'll have to wait a bit to reap the benefits of that deal now that Landry will miss 3-4 months following hip surgery, the team announced.

Landry played himself into a new deal and out of Golden State last season when he produced 10.8 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. He improved his scoring output in playoffs as well, pushing his numbers to 11.8 points per in critical minutes, helping the Warriors advance to the second round of the playoffs.

Without Landry, the Kings will continue to give Jason Thompson big minutes. He averaged 10.9 points and 6.7 rebounds in 27.9 minutes last season.
